Rob, thank you, brother!👍

Gut hooks work great for those that know and understand their purpose. I saw a guy using one to strip wire when I worked construction and made a mental note to never put one on one of my knives.

@Tsal post a pic of your Dad’s knife. I would like to see it.

I have never used a gut hook for anything but its intended purpose. I used a variety of knives to dress out deer until I was hunting with a friend of.mine who used one. First day of season he got his deer. I was helping him dress it out when I first saw it used. I was amazed at how quickly and easily it split the skin without touching the meat underneath. Next evening I got a deer and he was good enough to let me use his knife. Went right out and bought a Buck knife just like his and never looked back. Ugly as hell but they sure are handy.
